and then there's this asshole; canon is The Good Wife

[yoursob]

You haven't updated my fucking icons since season two and you think it's a good idea to drag me out now? Really? Let me guess, you're so convinced I'm about to fall on my sword that you want to give me one last shot for old time's sake. How sentimental.

I hate sentimental. Cut this shit out and leave me alone, I'm busy.

The questions is. Are you about to fall on your sword?

[yoursob]

I don't see any reason to, the mun's just overreacting to some hearsay and speculation.

[ translation: maybe with a plea deal he'll be out of prison in two years and just have to deal with being blackballed from working in politics forever>/i>]

[downplaying]

Hearsay and speculation can have their own legitimacy. At least in my experience.

[yoursob]

And what experience would that be?

[downplaying]

I'm a journalist. Hearsay and speculation can get you a long way in that profession.

[yoursob]

Well it certainly keeps your bread buttered. My business is politics so...you can imagine I'm less than fond of it.

[expartner]

Good morning to you too, Eli. [Said with an amused smile.]

[yoursob]

Hello Alicia. I wasn't expecting you to turn up here.

[expartner]

I come and go. And it does seem we're getting quite a few familiar faces here. Have you run into Will or Cary yet?

[yoursob]

Same, with a lot more "go" than not. I did see Cary, and Wi-- you know, it's probably best if I'm not seen talking to Mr. Gardner for the time being.

[ just in case the NSA's watching d_m too. ]

[expartner]

I don't suppose you've seen my husband?

[because srsly, Alicia is now sort of expecting that. Or Diane. Everyone else is here. Just please not Jackie oh god.]

[yoursob]

[ shit if Jackie appears Eli will finally have that coronary he's been saving up for. ]

No I haven't, but it's probably just a matter of time before he shows up.

[expartner]

Great. My mun was hoping to blissfully ignore the voter fraud issue for awhile longer.

[yoursob]

Lucky you. Mine's...enjoying the prospect of my entire life and career going down in flames way too much for comfort.

[expartner]

What, do they hate you or something?

Mine just likes to correct canon when it displeases her.

[yoursob]

Mostly she's hoping I get something to do that's not cheap comic relief. Redemption through drama or some bullshit like that, a payoff for over-analyzing every damn thing I do.

[expartner]

Mine is a Will fan, so she's not a happy camper right now.

It could be worse, though. Like I told Cary, my headmate is Olivia Pope.
